pod

Our peas are growing nicely,

in pods they plumply form

as tendrils creep on pea-sticks steep

they’re coming on a storm.

The sunshine has caressed them as

I watched them stretch and grow

hydrated from a watering can

from seedlings that were sown.

If only I’d grown more of them

I’d have enough to share

and flood the world with peas and love

sent kindness everywhere.

But as it is my harvest

of juicy petit pois

will only feed the two of us

( if they even get that far )
